I've been doing good (haven't purchased any new products in quite a while).

Wow! How'd you manage that? If you bottled it, I'd buy it. That's how bad I am.

I just managed to find out what my hair needs. It felt good giving away my extra goodies to one of my nieces. I also realized that I don't need a bunch of stuff for my hair. A few 'sets', and a few other things, and I'm good to go.

minimizing direct heat by rollersetting and then straighting only roots if needed

Redken Heat Glide (I have never been this ok with my new growth!)

Elasta QP Reg Lye Relaxer...this is soo much better than my old standby Affirm since my hair seems less dry and full of life!

I see you said the Heatly Hair Butter was a missed. I only tried a little of this one time and I couldn't really tell a difference in my hair so I never ordered it. I thought it was just me.

I am down with Sunsilk, as well.

I am loving the purple one Straighten Up with hydrolyzed elastin.

I think the shampoo and conditioner are my favorites.

 

[simplycee]

HITS:

• Razac Perfect for Perms leave in - slip, slip and more slip! Great for rollersets.
• IC Mosturizing Leave in for Dry hair - great alternative for above
• Mega Grip Roller Pins ($3.99 @ Sally's) - these work better for me when doing rollersets than the duckbilled clips. They DON'T pull my hair when taking out the rollers.
• Tresemme Moisturizing Con - just right for co washes

MISSES:

• Keracare Humucto (bottle version) - left my hair so hard I had to poo again in order get that stuff out. I MAY try the tub version (maybe)
